Elections Have Consequences 2.0

The words “deportation relief” jumped out at me from Greg Sargent’s Washington Post blog posting titled “Get ready for a titanic battle over immigration.” Those two words seem so benign compared with “amnesty” — the preferred usage in the GOP lexicon — but that is their meaning. President Barack Obama was dangling a promise to […]

Obama Is No Clinton

“I don’t want to try to read the tea leaves on election results,” said President Barack Obama following last Tuesday’s historic defeat. Who’s he kidding? A month earlier, the President was honest and accurate when he told a crowd at Northwestern University, “I’m not on the ballot this fall … but make no mistake — […]

Who are you calling stupid?

“Stupid is as stupid does” — Forrest Gump Unless you regularly follow conservative media, you may not have heard what one of the architects of the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) thinks about you. Jonathan Gruber is a Massachusetts Institute of Technology health economist who helped craft Obamacare. In a rare moment of unvarnished candor, […]

Federal “Truthy” Project Targets Conservatives on Twitter

Not all of the money confiscated by the federal government is flushed straight down the toilet. Some of it is strategically targeted toward an explicit purpose. Unfortunately that purpose is often to move the country toward tyranny, as when a National Science Foundation project was used to suspend the Twitter accounts of conservatives: The House […]

Libs Can’t Keep a Lid on Sex Change Regrets

With eager help from the “mainstream” media and other liberal authorities, people who suffer from psychiatric disorders of a sexual nature are often convinced that they could be happy and healthy if only they become their “true” selves through a process of chemical and surgical transmogrification into a freakish facsimile of the opposite sex. To […]

Outraged shopper who saw a pregnant woman and her son holding a ‘please help’ sign and begging for money on a street corner catches them driving off in their $35,000 MERCEDES [Video]

Man, this brings back memories of Vegas. This was a common scam there. You would see a woman and children begging and then eventually go back to their pricey vehicle and trundle home to their expensive digs. Or the well dressed guy who comes to your car asking for $20 because his car broke down […]

Jonathan Gruber Totally Regrets Saying Americans Are Stupid …. In First Video

That’s right, there are two videos (Mediaite) Jonathan Gruber, MIT professor and so-called architect of Obamacare, is walking back year-old remarks that the health care system overhaul passed only because of a “lack of transparency” and the “stupidity of the American voter.” On MSNBC Tuesday, Gruber told Ronan Farrowthat he “spoke inappropriately” when he made […]

John Kerry: Climate Agreement With China Is Like Totally Historic!

Secretary Of State John Kerry is totally psyched over the so-called carbon reduction agreement between his boss and China. Because they totally want other people to be forced to reduce their carbon footprints. Not themselves, though. Obama has a carbon footprint somewhere around 41,000 metric tons, while the average American comes in around 19 metric […]

Big Truthy Is Watching (Some of) You

This week, President Obama launched a prominent social media campaign on behalf of “net neutrality” and urged the FCC to “keep the Internet free and open.” The man has gall. This is the same speech-squelcher in chief whose administration snooped on reporters; vengefully audited tea party pro-life activists and conservative election watchdogs and slow-walked the […]

Democracy Delusions

When the Berlin Wall came down 25 years ago this week, people in the Soviet Bloc gained something even more valuable than a right to vote: a free market. Democracy is definitely better than taking orders from Communist dictators. But real freedom means doing what you choose as an individual, not waiting for the rest […]

2014: Political Dynasties Defeated

Lost amongst the scattered debris of the Democratic midterm disaster is another phenomenon: the widespread rejection of dynastic politicians. Four of the five defeated Democratic Senators (assuming a runoff loss by Louisiana’s Landrieu) belong to families whose famous last names paved the way for a cakewalk entry into high political office. Arkansas’ Mark Pryor is […]

America’s Education Crisis

An educational crisis has struck Minneapolis’ public schools: Black students have a tenfold higher chance of suspension or expulsion than white students. And superintendent Bernadeia Johnson wants to “disrupt that in any way that I can.” Her solution: refusing to suspend black and Hispanic students. “The only way I can think [to solve the disparity] […]

Obama Always Puts U.S. on the Wrong Side

Americans of most political persuasions tend to view the United Nations as corrupt and morally inverted. An organization supposedly dedicated to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights regularly overlooks abuses by the world’s worst actors (Cuba, North Korea, China, just to name three) while expending vast quantities of outrage at the efforts of one tiny […]

Democrats’ loss is not a win for Hillary Clinton

In the old Soviet Union, Kremlinologists would read the state party newspaper Pravda not so much for the news it contained, but to glean what the commissars wanted readers to believe the commissars were thinking. The closest we have to that in America is the New York Times. Obviously, it’s not a state organ and […]
